Lust (by Ross Bellenoit)

the clean cut of night is upon our return
a jewel to be kept in a case of concern
we watch it dissolve into stories of lust
you do what you can, i do what i must
our hands are entangled in forces unknown
to keep us from keeping our cover so blown
while residents sleep in their houses of calm
we raise up a silence of prayers and psalms
you've spoken to jesus and he loves me too
but he doesn't know you just quite like i do
so spare your distaste for the flattering rose
nobody will notice what everyone knows

i'm watching you dress, lord my patience is thin
my body is itching to get in your skin
our talk of betrayal, it bores me to tears
for what is the use of confronting our fears
they live in our choices, they live in denial
they've stood in our shadows of shame for awhile
you're talking to me about changing your ways
so you can remember the most of your days
but life isn't always "increasing the dose"
it's keeping the secret that everyone knows

(February, 2009)
